As part of its continuous efforts to leverage modern technology and drive innovation in agribusiness, PT Sumber Tani Agung Resources Tbk (STAA) has conducted a pilot project using drone technology for fertilization at the PT Hanuraba Sawit Kencana estate, one of STAA’s operational units located in South Sumatra.
Drone-assisted fertilization is a cutting-edge solution that supports the advancement of precision agriculture. This approach aims to improve the accuracy and consistency of fertilizer application across plantations, reduce wastage, and ensure optimal dosage alignment with field conditions. Additionally, it significantly enhances time efficiency, lowers operational costs, and reduces reliance on manual labor—especially in areas with difficult terrain.
This pilot project reflects STAA’s commitment to operational efficiency and sustainability by adopting smart technologies that enhance productivity. Moving forward, the company aims to expand the use of drone-based fertilization across other estates, supported by continuous evaluation and system improvement based on real-time field data.
This initiative underscores STAA’s vision of becoming a modern agribusiness leader—one that prioritizes innovation, resource efficiency, and long-term sustainability alongside strong operational outcomes.
